According to the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, the baboon limbs were found hanging from the perimeter wall of their home in Bellville, Cape Town.

“The inspectors responded to a tip-off that two baboon hands and a severed foot dangling from a property’s perimeter wall had been spotted,” the Cape of Good Hope Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said in a statement.

SPCA also notes, in its statement, that the baboons have become increasingly targeted and treated with cruel intolerance in the name of human protection. The ‘Society’ wants this cruel treatment to stop.

SPCA is currently working with police and Cape Nature in the investigation of the recent incident.

Police, on its part, have warned that they will not hesitate to prosecute whoever they find responsible for torturing and recklessly killing wild animals.
